2008 Galveston After the Hurricane Ike

Hurricane Ike was the third most destructive storm to ever hit the United States. It came into Galveston Island as a Category 2 storm with winds of 110MPH hurricane extending 275Â miles and 120Â miles, respectively, from the center., though due to the size of Ike, the storm surge was the devastating part. These pictures were taken when the island was re-opened to incoming traffic, week later and after some clean up was done.
